“Sick” & “Tired” Songs, Vol. 1

I got it into my head that I would post a set of songs with either the word "Sick" or "Tired" or both in their titles. Then I started finding too many good songs that qualified. Pretty soon, I had enough songs for not one, not two, but three posts. Yes, that's right – imagine that! – I got carried away with myself again. So this is the first post, and there will be two more. I'll spread 'em out a bit, so you don't get too...wait for it..."Sick" and "Tired" of them. Enjoy?  ~  JH
